    Identifying the source of satsuki weakness..

    I picked up a very nice satsuki this spring from a fellow nut and have been keeping a close eye on it as temps warm up here. A couple of things concern me and I wanted to reach out to those more experienced with the species to see what you all think. My first concern is that the leaves are...

    'Rain Lilly' thread

    Does anyone else have any experience with rain lilies? This little one is the first that I have put in to a pot (they grow very freely in both standing water and regular soil) and I am very pleased with it. They come from small bulbs which readily reproduce. Cold hardy as well. The name comes...

    Shohin Momiji

    Posting out of pure excitement and in an effort to keep better track of my trees. I purchased this tree from Matt Ouwinga of Kaede Bonsai-En and could not be happier. If any of you have dealt with Matt you know how encouraging he is and his knowledge on both maples and Japanese pottery in...

    New common Juniper from the Ishii's

    More specifically, this is a juniper that came from my local nursery by way of Dale Cochoy's collection and Mas Ishii's nursery before him. It has sat idle for the past two years with only minor pruning having been done. I am glad to add it to my collection and help get it back on track. The...

    You tell someone you like barberry...

    ...and they leave a huge pile of them in your driveway. 19 of them to be exact. All were dug from a pond construction site today and left bare root for me here. It pays to have a neighbor with a pond company :) There are about 10 that have thicker single trunks and the rest are the typical...

    New Scots on the bench!

    Hello nuts, Just thought I would share the most recent addition to my bench. This is a Scots pine that has been very well cared for by a retired city maintenance worker. It was started from a young seedling some 32 years ago. I do not have a clue as to the actual type of scots pine, but I'm...

    Holy Wire Scars!

    Hi all, I recently purchased a very nice logwood from ebay. I couldn't wait for it to arrive. Repot, de-wire, and admire! Until I opened the box and saw just how badly the wire had bitten in... My question to you all: is there any hope for this poor tree? Is this a 5 year thing? Is it a...

    Another one of my maples.

    I repotted this maple last weekend and meant to get pictures up then too.. better late than never I suppose. I'm not sure of the cultivar, I'm hoping it's a mountain maple, but maybe with some foliage shots tomorrow someone can confirm. The bark is a lighter tan than the typical grey...

    Where to even begin? *New maple

    I recently recieved this, what I believe to be, dwarf prebonsai maple from Neil Dellinger(A+ seller, polite, and by far some of the best tree packaging I've seen..). I've only had it about a week and already the wheels are turning, but in every direction. As you can see, there is A LOT going...

    ID needed please!

    Last night was our local club auction and since the price was right, I picked up this elm. No one at the meeting could ID the tree for certain so I thought I'd ask here. It is about 12" tall with a base about 4-5" in diameter. Thanks!
